Secondary Gains from Professionalization: A French Tale

Robert Hebert

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1992, vol. 14, issue 2, 133-142

Abstract: From this same rostrum several years ago, outgoing president Bill Barber (1990, p. 110) said that presidential addresses tend to fall into one of two broad categories. Category I speeches typically survey the state of the art, identify promising directions for future research, and attempt to justify our scholarly existence to skeptics who doubt the value of studying the world of dead economists. Category II speeches draw their form and substance from the speaker's particular research interests.
